A native of Southern California, Samantha grew up in Orange County. She earned a bachelor's degree in literature from Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, where she focused her studies on multicultural literature and the Spanish language. Through these studies, she took a deeper dive into the heritage of her paternal grandparents and found a deep admiration for the determination and dedication it took for them to immigrate to the United States from Mexico in the 1920s. Without their sacrifices, she recognizes with appreciation that none of the successes of their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren would have been possible. Samantha lives in Costa Mesa, California, with her husband, Matt, and when she's not writing, she enjoys spending time with her dogs, painting, and teaching yoga. <p/><b>Calef Brown</b> is the author and illustrator of thirteen books for children, including <i>Polkabats and Octopus Slacks: 14 Stories</i>; <i>Flamingos on the Roof: Poems and Paintings--</i>a<i> New York Times </i>bestseller; <i>The Ghostly Carousel</i>; and most recently, <i>Up Verses Down </i>(2019).
